Ok, i have a NBS '99 Silverado and my wife has a OBS '99 Tahoe. The emergency brake on her truck far better than mine. Is it because the tahoe has drum rear breaks or is it just a design flaw. Can i beef mine up?
It is probably because of the Disk breaks. What they do on some cars with rear disk brakes is there is a tiny little drum brake inside the disk hub on my old car it was no more that 4" dia. You don't get nearly as much surface area for braking.

Along those same lines, if you have rear disc brakes, you apply your normal brake pedal then apply the emergency brake. That's what my manual says anyway.
